her new job, biggest regret and balancing diplomacy and diapers. our exclusive interview today, october 3, 2013. from nbc news this is "today" with matt lauer and savannah guthrie live from studio 1 a in rockefeller plaza. i'm savannah guthrie. >> and i'm matt lauer. president and congressional leaders met at the white house to talk about the government shutdown. >> no deal and now we are on the third day of the shutdown. a ruling in the trial tied to the singer's death. we will talk about the case with

dr. conrad murray in a moment. >> reporter: it was an unequivocal win for concert promoters aeg live. jurors say they hired dr. murray. to the second question, was murray on fit or incompetent at the fire aeg hired him? the answer is no. and the case of damages for the jackson family ended. >> the jury said aeg wasn't responsible. >> reporter: the verdict was a clear win for aeg. despite the wording of the second question it was nothing close for vindication to dr. murray as the jurors made clear. said murray was competent in what he was hired for.

>> in the end it was unethical. >> reporter: and stated the verdict would have little impact on the view that he is the doctor who killed michael jackson. >> we are challenging that on appeal. >> reporter: the jurors in this trial said aeg was not responsible for whatever his doctor did in the sealed off room in the last days of his life. >> how could aeg do anything about it when they were kept in the dark. >> aeg didn't do anything wrong here. >> reporter: and an expensive loss for the jackson family led by katherine jackson who sought over a billion dollars in damages. >> we are not happy with the result as it stands now. >> reporter: an under statement when so many millions and billions were at stake. >> dr. conrad murray is with us on the phone from jail in los angeles. murray's attorney is with us, as well.

dr. murray, good morning to you. >> good morning, matt. >> i want to know what was your reaction. i know you were watching the verdict on tv live as it was handed down. what was your immediate reaction? >> my immediate reaction was one of tears. certainly i cried. but i cried only because i'm not taking sides in this matter, first of all, let me make that clear. i cried because for once the world was allowed to hear some of the facts as it pertained to this matter. a lot of fans that had been suppressed, much of i was denied and my attorneys could not present, i was not given a fair chance to defend myself nor were they given the opportunity to defend me based upon the rulings of the court.

i was very relieved that at least the world had a chance of hearing some of the facts. >> you said you were relieved. did you feel at all vindicated, dr. murray? >> i have felt that the lord has always been with me. and i believe that this was part of my recognition that you have to wait. you have to know that he is there for you and he is going to do his justice. >> did you continue watching after the verdict? did you see the press conference where members of the jury came out? one said that you quote did something that you shouldn't have done and that you were, quote, unethical. did you hear that?

and how did you react to it? >> i think what the juror said is that if ethics were the issue the conclusion may be different. this is not about ethics. this was about the jackson's bringing a lawsuit which i felt from the beginning was frivolous. the very lawsuit that indicated that something was done. and a lot of claims were incorrect. i knew that for a fact. this is not about ethics. that is about a lawsuit that was frivolous and the jury should keep comments as they were confined. when you say i am unethical that is speculation on his part because he has not heard the other side of the case. >> hang on for one second. anything that happened in this trial going to impact your

ability to appeal the involuntary manslaughter conviction that dr. murray has on his record? >> it won't effect the appeal at all. >> let me go back to you. you are going to be released from jail in a matter of weeks. you can't practice medicine right now because your license has been revoked or suspended. what do you plan to do? >> my license is not revoked, first of all. first of all, when i get out of jail i want to be able to embrace my children. i want to be able to reunite with my family and close friends and all of the angels that have been placed in my life that have given me support and encouraged me through this whole process. i will reset my life and i will show the world that despite

adversity and when bad things happen to good people they can restart their life and succeed. >> and dr. murray we will look forward to talking to you hopefully when you get out of jail in a couple of weeks. we thank you for your time this morning. i thank you for joining us, as well. >> i look forward to speaking with you. washington government shutdown entering the third day. and blame game between democrats and republicans is not letting up even after a key meeting yesterday. peter alexander has the latest developments this morning. what can you tell us? >> reporter: within this hour the president will go to maryland where he will be at a small business construction company where he hopes to try to put more pressure on republicans to pass a budget. any hopes that this will shut down will be resolved by putting the president and congressional leaders behind closed doors were quickly denied yesterday and there are no new white house

meetings scheduled. with the paralyzing government shutdown now in the third day no signs of a breakthrough even though leaders had more than an hour of face time with the president wednesday night. >> the president reiterated he will not negotiate. >> we are through playing little games. >> reporter: the next potential crisis on october 17 when the nation faces default, a potential economic catastrophe if congress doesn't raise the borrowing limit. in an interview president obama blamed republicans insisting there is reason for concern. >> when you have a situation in which a faction is willing potentially to default on u.s. government obligations then we are in trouble. >> reporter: the shutdown isn't just impacting national parks

but national security, too. the man who oversees the nsa and cia is saying 70% are said to be home. >> this challenges the security of this nation. >> reporter: at the fbi headquarters 50% of the staff furloughed. national institutes of health about 30 sick children could be shut out of cancer trials this week alone. the world war ii memorial was open wednesday but closed to all other tourists. te texas congressman confronted a park ranger. a fellow furloughed worker confronted the congressman. >> i am out of work. this is because the government won't do its job and pass a budget. >> reporter: the economy is

being hard hit by all of this. by one estimate $300 million a day in lost productivity. that is roughly about a half million dollars in the time it took me to deliver this report. nathalie is here with breaking news on a tragic ship wreck. >> and rescue efforts are underway this morning after a boat carrying hundreds of migrants from africa sank in the mediterranean sea. anne thompson is in italy with the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the relatively warm and calm waters of the mediterranean sea tempt many to make the crossing from north africa to italy. today one of the crossings turned deadly. the italian coast guard says as many as 500 people may have been on the boat.

an official describes the scene as horrific and likens it to a cemetery. initial reports say fire broke out on board and people threw themselves in the water. pope francis celebrated mass for those who died making the crossing. today he said there is only one word to describe today's ship wreck and that is shameful. >> anne thompson in italy for us. investigators are gathering evidence on a tennessee highway where a church bus crashed into a tractor-trailer and suv on wednesday. eight people were killed including six on the bus. police say the bus was bringing senior citizens home from a church jubilee when it blew a tire. a woman whose family was chased and attacked by a group

of motorcycle riders has broken her silence this morning. >> reporter: sources tell us the investigation into the incident is going strong. detectives have searched the home of the motorcyclist they think taped the video. we heard from the driver's family, his wife saying they were celebrating their anniversary on sunday, having a family day out with their 2 year old when she says instead we were placed in grave danger by a mob. we were faced with a life threatening situation and my husband was forced to take the actions he did in order to protect the lives of our entire family. we know in our hearts we could not have done anything differently and we believe anybody faced with the same

danger would have taken the same course of action. southwest airlines has fired the pilot who was flying the plane that made a hard landing in new york this summer. the pilot was terminated this week. the first officer of the flight will be required to undergo additional training. the boeing landed on the nose gear which then collapsed. and washington state man's sweet tooth landed him behind bars. this happened in the lobby of a county courthouse. you can see a woman carrying a pink box through security. in the box there is a birthday cake. she sets it on the table. the hungry man grabs a handful of the cake. he goes back for seconds. deputies were not amused by this. they tackled the man before he could go back for thirds.

the sweet tooth man was charged with theft. >> hopefully there will be a file or hack saw in that cake so he can get out of there in a hurry. that is a mess. you have a busy morning. you are tracking a storm. >> we have a tropical storm now. have a winter storm. in between the two we have severe weather. we'll start in the tropics. tropical storm karen right now it is 600 miles south of mobile, alabama. it has 60 miles per hour winds. it is moving northwest. it makes landfall sometimes early. drops back to tropical storm strength. whatever happens with this it is going to dump a ton of rain. so we are going to have folks who have to keep an eye out from the florida panhandle to new orleans.

shutdown we have been talking abo abo about. andrea andrea mitchell sat down with benjamin netanyahu. >> told me the u.s. should not be taken in by iran's president's claim that he was elected to be a moderate. >> why not give this man a chance? >> they toss out this regime. these people, the iranian people, the majority are pro-western. they are governed not by rouhani. he has a coult is wild. iran conducts as we speak now terrorist operations in dozens of countries. he speaks of the tragedy in

syria. iran's forces he-- it is one thg to say one thing and another is what they do. >> what does it take for president obama to call him? >> what happens in the negotiation? i think we don't let iran get away with it. >> doesn't this make it more difficult for israel if you deem it necessary to act alone because the rest of the world is saying iran is changing and you are isolated. >> i'm not sure i'm isolated. i talk to people. and people are not that gullible. in fact, they are not gullible at all. they don't believe iran's nice words but they are not foolish. >> do you -- >> i believe the president understands.

>> this is the largest chemical weapons attack in 25 years. >> to close a deal that would take the u.s. from the brink of military action in syria to a landmark plan to rid the country of its dhchemical weapons. you got the deal on syria. can you really say it's a resolution that has teeth that will bite? >> had is the first resolution that has ever required syria to do anything. russia has been taking it by the hand, you know, putting it under its wing, and shield iing it fr any international pressure of any kind. to your point, though, we also wrote into the resolution a series of relatively clear benchmarks as to what compliance would look like. >> if syria doesn't comply, do you think the u.s. has the right be and obl fwags igation to act military? >> we wouldn't even be in this discussion if not for the kr credible threat of military force. he has not taken that threat off the table. i think russia is aware that

threat still exists. syria is aware that threat still exists. >> as for iran, power is expressing caution about the country's new moderate sounding leader. >> given the new rhetoric the president felt it important to probe and to test and to listen and to see is there anything new substantively being offered here? and i think that's our posture, skepticism. there is a diplomatic window but it won't remain open forever. >> diplomacy was not is a man that power's first pursuit. >> i think she won the pulitzer prize at the age of 15 or 16. >> the daughter of irish immigrants she came to this country at 9, a graduate of yale in her 20s, she went to bosnia to document atrocities, later doing the same in sudan, winning acclaim for her sharp pen, her book on genocide won the pulitzer. do you almost feel that people are holding up that past life and saying, samantha power can't compromise? >> i think they're very entitled to do that. what helps is they bring to me constantly things that sometimes

in the bubble of government one doesn't necessarily get exposure to. when i was a write he or a columnist or a loudmouth pundit, at the end of the day, i spoke my piece. now you're getting to have these discussions with the president of the united states, with the secretary of state. >> but at home, these are the discussions. at 43 she is the mother of two young children, 4 and 1. with her husband, famed legal scholar, they all live in the a.m. bass tore's residence at the waldorf hotel whose ornate dining rooms double as a baseball diamond. is it difficult? is it harder than you thought it would be to be a mom to little kids and have this huge new job? >> it's -- you never feel like you're bringing your "a" game to

everything at the same time. so something gives and those who say that nothing gives, i feel when we leave in the morning a level of clinginess and are you really coming home? the other day he said, no more security council resolutions. >> that passes for normal in this new life. >> you want to read about syria? >> just like playing baseball with the president. >> that's gone. >> or commuting to school in an armored car followed by a 14-hour day for mom. i called some former colleagues and asked them about you. here are some words they used admiringly, relentless, pathologically honest. >> true. pathological in lots of ways, yes. >> when you have an issue, like a dog with a bone. >> yes. in the sense negotiations play to my strong suit. i never give up. >> power was taeceaching at hard when a young obama read her book

and invited her to dinner. >> you offered to intern. >> i had just gotten a slice for the first time in years of season tickets to the red sox which are impossible to get, and then at this dinner with him three hours in i heard myself saying, why don't i move to washington and basically do whatever you'll have me do in your office. it was only when i left the dinner an hour or two later i realized that i was, in effect, giving up my season tickets claim for this man. >> to say nothing -- weren't you a harvard professor at that point? >> red sox tickets, come on, savannah. >> a die hard baseball fan, nothing could prepare power for the rough sport of politics. in the 2008 presidential race, she was banished from obama's campaign after she was quoted calling hillary clinton a monster. >> it was beyond searing. you lose your temper. you're in a campaign. things go back and forth. it just completely broke my heart that there is a fair

amount of negativity heaped upon her i find massively unfair and that i could have contributed to that narrative, that was terrible. i have regretted it pretty much every day since. but we work together very effectively on issues the last four years. >> i know you apologized to her. i heard there were tears. >> certainly it was very emotional for me, and i was so grateful to be able to say that in person was something that i'm immensely grateful to her to have given me that opportunity. >> here you are u.n. ambassador, a job, i imagine, you could scarcely dream of when you came to this country as a little girl. is there a greater a.m. about bigs or have you arrived? >> this is it. come on. i get to sit behind that placard to usa. the world comes to you here. so to be here where it all comes together, it's a thrill of a lifetime. nothing else, retirement after

including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), which may be fatal. stop taking victoza® and call your doctor right away if you have signs of pancreatitis, such as severe pain that will not go away in your abdomen or from your abdomen to your back, with or without vomiting. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. taking victoza® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. the most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and headache. some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems. if your pill isn't giving you the control you need ask your doctor about non-insulin victoza®. it's covered by most health plans. cats are smart.
